Apollo’s response caching has been rebuilt from the ground up for speed, control, and scale—and it’s easier than ever to use. In this session, you’ll see how to flip on supergraph-level caching with directives and instantly cut latency, all without touching subgraph code.
We’ll get into the good stuff: policy-driven caching, surrogate keys for precise invalidations, and patterns to keep data fresh across a federated graph. You’ll see a live demo of the cache debugger in Apollo Sandbox, complete with expanded metrics and distributed tracing so you actually know what’s going on. We’ll also show off the new invalidation engine—it’s dramatically faster, handles more complex scenarios, and is just plain nicer to work with.
When caching is done correctly, you never go down, save significant infrastructure costs, and have globally unbeatable performance. However, caching is known as one of the two hardest problems in computer science for a reason. It turns out that GraphQL and Federation make caching a breeze. Max, the CEO at Stellate, shares what they have learned from caching hundreds of federated GraphQL APIs at scale that you can apply to your API to make them indestructible.
